American Bulldog
The Bulldog is larger in size but the closest surviving relative of the Old English Bulldog, because they were not altered to as great an extent while in America as their European cousins. There are generally considered to be two types of American Bulldog, the Johnson type and the Scott type, named after the breeders who were influential in developing them, John D. Johnson and Allen Scott. These are more commonly known as Classic or Bully type and Standard or Performance type.
Antebellum Bulldog
Also known as the Altamaha Plantation Bulldog, the extremely rare breed has recently gained popularity as family protector. During the peak of the Antebellum period, rice plantations along the Altamaha River valley branches and Cathead Creek west of Darien accounted for the bulk of the rice being exported from Georgia.
The rice fields on these plantations, sometimes had yields of more than one million pounds of rice per year. Feral hogs and wild cattle could devastate young rice crops overnight. To work the feral hogs and wild cattle Planters introduced dogs, bred with a strong catch drive and large feet for a sure sense of balance in the lowland marshes. Described as devotional and large headed, the dogs all but disappeared. Word is they were predominantly white in color. The breed has recently been reestablished through the Animal Research Foundation.
Australian Bulldog
Australian Bulldogs were created by Australian breeders that were unhappy with the overall health and condition of the purebred Bulldog. The overall predominant breeds in the mixed breed bitches, aside from any British Bulldog blood, were boxer, mastiff and English bull terrier with smidgens of other breeds. Only male British Bulldogs were used to make the generational crossings at first. Using British Bulldog bitches was rejected because of their known whelping problems. The few mixed breed dogs used by the writer all had impeccable temperaments with adults and children alike. Other key non-British Bulldog male dogs used were Cash Donkey Tonk Eeyore and Kestels Tiger Boy. Later on other breeders introduced American Bulldog blood, of which the foremost would be Cauchi lines.
Bullenbeisser
An extinct dog that originated in Germany. It is also known as the German Bulldog.
Bulldog
The Bulldog of today has developed since the initial bull-baiting days, inasmuch as characteristics of the breed (such as the underbite, size of the head and width of shoulder) have been accentuated by selective breeding. The term "Bulldog" is the correct name for the breed, although they are often referred to as "English Bulldogs" or "British Bulldogs".
